Today was a good day with the kids. Bike ride and evening out to a live performance of Roald Dahl’s, The Twits at Rosliston Forestry Center. The weather wasn’t great but it held out with no rain and the kids enjoyed it immensely. The shot of today  had to be of Tilly’s response to Mr Twit eating worms for his dinner, which was a classic! Following that we had a play in the park before heading home.

A bit of a wet and miserable day today, which was a bit ‘pants’ considering that I had the bikes all ready for a bike-ride with the kids. Alas, we entertained ourselves inside, then went for some lunch before hitting the soft play center with the kids. I might have the aging body of a 40 year old but I am still a 25 year old at heart – and decided you are never to old to chase your kids through level of soft play equipment! There might have been a height limit in force, but I was moving to fast for them to catch me. lol!

Ah the question that I have asked myself on many occasions, “Why did the snail cross the road?”, but never found an answer for. Well yesterday I had the opportunity to ask one such snail as to why he was indeed crossing the road, but alas he did not seem to able to give any answers! I though that I would leave him be for a minute to compose an answer, but alas when I returned to complete the interview the snail seem somewhat flat towards our conversation, so I moved on.

Answers on a postcard, “Why did the snail cross the road?”

P.S. get me, posting my photo blog before mid-day!

Today saw me in Uxbridge for some meetings, but as promised I swung by one of my close Twitterati to say hello for the first time. That’s something that has been great by doing this project, meeting new people who I can call friends. Rosalyn is one of those people, just like I met up with Tim a while back, both who I now know through this project. Roz is housebound and fighting her illness with vengeance at the moment, so it’s great to meet her and see how she’s doing.

For anyone interested Roz is sponsoring herself to get out of the house by raising money for Spurgeons through her JustGiving site if anyone is interested.

Anyway, I managed to grab several minutes with Roz whilst she was out and about this morning, so ‘papped’ her whilst she was out and about! As you can also see she acted like a true celebrity in sticking two finger up to the paparazzi.

Been working and catching up at home today, and although the weather has been great I’ve not managed to get out and about – which is a bit of a shame. Either way I’ve had the kids this evening so managed to get a bit of play in. Tilly was most excited about the appearance of her peas after planting them the other week.

Originally, after planting them she stood and watched, waiting. I think that she thought that they were magic peas or something!

Today saw me up in Manchester with a client, looking at what they have done so far and looking at what they could be doing. All in all a good and creative meeting spent looking at all the possible avenues for what they have created so far; and what they might want to look at.

Either way this old building near-by caught my eye, so thought that I would capture that for today.

OK – so I was struggling again this evening, so I was hunting around the house for things to photograph. Things were getting desperate and various objects were getting brought out and subjected to being photographed!

Anyone guess what this is?

This project has the ability to take over my life at any time! It’s been a good day today with the kids – lots of relaxing, playing and having fun (I’m still tidying the house!). However at the end of the day, post swimming practice for the kids, and with McDonald’s smelling the car out, the audible groans from the kids when I announced that I needed to stop to take a picture were deafening!

Either way, the deed was soon done, and McDonald’s was soon being consumed at home.

After reaching out to the Twitterati, and realizing that the camera on the SLR was flat I have had to resort to iphonography again today. So this one is the face that Tilly gave me when asked if she was having fun shopping with her Dad this morning Honestly she was smiling 10 seconds prior to this shot!

Anyway, seeing what a fantastic job the staff are doing we thought that a bottle of wine was needed for each of them – accompanied by a cupcake each from me.
